If the democrats are going to get populist on Wall Street's ass
then they should be aggressive on the AIG investigation, right?

Does everyone know who Edolphus Towns is? Does anyone? I didn't think so.

1. AIG is Where They Should be Aggressive
because it not only cost the taxpayers over $100B, it's also the place where widespread lawbreaking seems to have occured.

2. Well also, why the hell isn't Dick Fuld (Lehman CEO) in jail?
SOB took a 150 year old company and killed it selling shares in worthless desert properties to unsuspecting investors, put thousands out of work and stole their life savings.

3. Rep. Towns is from Brooklyn and heads the over site committee in
the House. Why do you think I should know him?

4. because that's the committee that's doing the investigation
the investigation is being led by Darrell Issa, the republicans' ranking member. Why is that, exactly? Why aren't the democrats leading it?

5. Remember the saying: "If someone goes populist, believe the opposite"
